Yushin had just arrived once again in the village hidden in the Land of Hot Springs. Nestled in the Hotsprings Country, Yugakure no Sato, once a bustling hidden village, now stands as a nearly deserted ghost town, with few people left to tell about its former glory. The few remaining inhabitants, shrouded in mystery, maintain a wary silence toward outsiders. Whispers persist of cultists affiliated with the nearby Temple of Jashin preying on unsuspecting travelers passing through. The mysterious Yugakure had found a haunting presence in the dreams of individuals, travelers and adventurers who had never encountered the village, adding an air of surreal mystery to its forsaken landscape.
Yushin left his former base of operations in Tatsumakigakure no Sato to pursue a fat contract with the local administration, but he hoped to return to the wasteland in order to fully take control of its underworld. Luckily for him, he got out of there just in time, as apparently "Hurricane Ace" just whiped what was left of that forsaken land out of existence. Although Yushin was starting to like being the boss of that miserable land, and he would definetely miss his old hidden lair, the criminal now had his eyes set on a bigger prize. An old acquaintance of the time Yushin smuggled sake out of the Land of Fire gave Yushin a pretty good tip about a job in the Hotsprings: the new administration, tired of all the raiding and pludering, decided to invest big money into their defences. More specifically, they wanted to build a big, gigantic wall around the village. Not only that, they needed someone with experience in invading places to actually test those defences, looking for possible flaws.
Yushin was appointed by a local councilor after his friend paid him a small bribe, and he introduced himself to the village administration as a engineer and security expert. He wasn't completely lying when he got the job, ah he indeed was an expert in breaking in places unoticed, so he could use that experience whenever building the wall... but he actually knew absoulutely nothing about building walls, or anything else as a matter of fact. How would he pull that off was a great mystery, but at worst case scenario he could just try to steal the money from the village administration (and their defences sucked as themselves admitted by hiring Yushin) and run away to another god forsaken wasteland.
He arrived the next day at the construction site in the village outskirts, with his whole building crew, hired by the village, awaited for his arrival and intructions. The elegant outlaw arrived wearing a broidered black tuxedo and a white tie over a black dress shirt and white dress pants, and his signature Fedora hat. All eyes were set on him upon his arrival, as the crew awaited for the engineers orders to get started. Yushin just smiled and waved at them while he walked towards his office. "Alright, nice to see you guys, let's get started... we can start making the foundation right around that area with the old trees, so let's go, time is money!" - said the criminal hurriedly, as he entered his office and quickly closed the door behind. "That should occupy this idiots for a while... but I gotta find a way to build this freaking wall properly, otherwise I'm screwed...

When Jupiter finally snapped out of his daze, the dust had settled. The body of the unnamed arsonist lay buried in the rubble. His last words rang in Jupiter's ears once again, 'Praise Vatra!'. In the horizon, he saw the silhouette of the samurai and his winter bat fly off into the sunrise. Huh... I spaced out. The Pacifist turned towards the Sun, and began to calmly walk away from the scene. Each stride was slow and assertive, but the rhythm of his gait alluded to feelings of confusion and disorientation. The visions, no, the memories, that reemerged in his psyche haunted him in the form of vivid imagery. The visions were akin to incessant whispers, the words ringing in his bones though he could not hear them. What does it mean to be a Jashinist? Is it overcoming the fear of death? Or inflicting death on others as sacrifice in worship of Jashin? Or is it simply embracing death as a natural part of life? Perhaps it was a combination of these things. Why then does Jashin grant immortality to his most devout followers? Until now, he never questioned his beliefs. Since coming back to Hotsprings, Jupiter had begun to feel a voice, one that had been suppressed deep inside his consciousness, one within himself rather than without, one with an orange tinge, longing to come back out to the surface.
As he walked through the many Temples scattered on the forsaken land, he walked past the duelling ascetics with their axes and kamas. Their blood marked what was let of the asphalt used to pave the roads in the ghost town, painting the town in streaks of dark red and smells of iron. His distant, absent-minded gaze and confident poise deterred any of the Jashinists from testing him. The sound of banging metal, and the smell of blood all around him sickened him. He had come on a pilgrimage hoping to find the promised land, to establish a spiritual connection and to find true meaning in his life. So far, none of this had come to be. His repressed memories drifted to the surface in waves, painting a lucid picture of a time immemorial. The more he opened his mind to the possibilities, and tried to let go of his biases, the clearer the picture became. The pieces were slowly coming together. There was no God of Death. The man responsible for the voices in his head was just that - merely a man, one who was perhaps a vessel for an evil force that inhabited the minds of shinobi. One thing was clear. The revelation forced Jupiter to rethink everything.
On his long walk he came across a rural village, where a group of men were busy laying the foundation to build a wall next to their village. The voice in his head, one that he was most familiar with, commanded him to speak.
"It shall besiege you in all your forsaken towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your village, and it shall besiege you in all your towns throughout your land which the Lord Jashin has given you." Jupiter bit his tongue. "Nay." He cleared his throat. He stretched his arms out wide, harnessing the attention of the labourers.
"Like a city that is broken into and without walls. Is a man who has no control over his spirit. For he said to the Disciples, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought the Lord our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered! Witness God's Mercy!"
The hired workers scratched their heads as Jupiter formed the seal of confrontation.
"Summoning Art: Rashomon!"
With those words, a massive gate 50 meters high, 25 meters wide and 5 meters thick arose from the ground where the workers had begun to lay their foundation. The labourers stumbled back and stared in disbelief. The villagers wept tears of joy and collapsed on their knees. It was a miracle. The face on the gate - usually an ominous visage bearing a demonic smite - now bore closed eyes and a subtle, warm smile from ear to ear.

God knows how much time passed since Yushin got into his office. He was trying to avoid all the workers in the building site to not expose his absolute lack of engineering knowledge. First, he spent some time reading the local paper, "Jashin's Post", but all the news were about new temple constructions/renovations and pilgrimage routes. What a bunch of losers.... The pale criminal had no belief in god himself. How could a god exist and allow so much tragedies to occur all over the world? How could there be a god in a world where a father can murder his wife in front of his son? Where child are born with diseases that prevent them from being normal? Either there was no god or he was a gigantic asshole.
Yushin had his own plans regarding divinities. He didn't want to embrace one to adore, no... he wanted to become one. He wanted to transcend the barrier between the mortal and the sacred and ascend to divinity, shaping the world after his own image and his own beliefs and serving swift retribution to those who crossed him before. Yes, that could souns a little...ambitious one may say, but Yushin always got what he wanted one way or another, and he would go though the end of times to fulfill his destiny.
As his mind was trapped into his narcissistic thoughts, something rather unusual happened... Yushin actually felt asleep right at his desk, as all the traveling got the best of his energies. The criminal quickly got into a deep sleep state and started having the most bizarre dream:
"Yushin finally left his office to check on the wall's construction. It was pretty dark and everything seemed a bit blurry. To the criminal's surprise, instead of actually building the wall, the crew was in a circle, with a single person on the middle of it. All o the workers on their knees, in what appeared to be a position of reverence, as if they were bowing to the person in the middle. Who was that? Yushin couldn't tell who the man was, only that he had black hair and was wearing some kind of robe. As Yushin approached the circle of people, trying to see through all the lads the guy in the middle, they all started to chant in unisone what sounded like a pray:
Oh, mighty God of Construction, we raise our humble song,
In the heart of steel and concrete, where our labors belong.
With hard hats on our heads and tools within our hands,
We build the dreams of cities, according to your plans.
Hail the God of Constructions, strong and true,
Guiding every worker in all that we do.
In the dust and the rubble, we find our devotion,
To the deity of structures, our eternal promotion.
Bless our scaffolds high, and our foundations deep,
May the beams be sturdy, and our promises we keep.
Grant us strength and skill, as we toil each day,
In the God of Constructions, we trust and obey.
Hail the God of Constructions, master of design,
Through the noise of jackhammers, your presence doth shine.
In the symphony of saws and the hum of construction,
We sing your praises, our divine introduction.
Oh, divine architect, whose blueprint we follow,
In the echo of welds and the clang of the hollow.
With mortar and bricks, we raise our creation,
In the name of the God of Constructions, our veneration.
From the ground to the sky, we build your manifestation,
With every brick laid, we seek your validation.
In the sweat on our brows and the calloused hands,
We find purpose and pride in your divine commands.
Hail the God of Constructions, ruler of the sites,
In the silent cranes and the city's dazzling lights.
With a nod to the heavens, where our praise ascends,
To the God of Constructions, our eternal friends.
In rivets and steel, in foundations and walls,
We find the grace of construction, as your temple calls.
Oh, God of Constructions, in our work, you reside,
In this realm of creation, forever our guide."
They've kept singing again and again while bowing to the man in the circle. Yushin had no idead what was going on, so he tried to pass through the circle of workers and reach the middle of it to see who were they bowing to. As he approached his destination after much struggle, everything vanished..."
Yushin woke up with a start, while the ground below shook uncontrollably....something was happening outside. He rushed out of his office and all he could see was the vision of a gigantic a massive gate 50 meters high, 25 meters wide and 5 meters thick rising from the ground where the workers had begun to lay their foundation. The labourers stumbled back and stared in disbelief, with even some of the villagers wept tears of joy and collapsed on their knees. It was a miracle. The face on the gate, or wall, displayed a face with closed eyes and a subtle, warm smile from ear to ear. Right next to the wall, Yushin noticed a man with long, dark hair, just like the man in his dreams. He also wore large robes, just like the guy of his dreams. What the hell...
As Yushin approached the man in the robe, he started preaching. But it wasn't the regular jashinist preach Yushin got used to whenever visiting the viilage. No, it was actually a different kind of praise... catholic, to be precise. Yushin analyzed the man with his natural aptitude to read people, and that guy was either very mysterious of very obvious. He looked like a empty vessel, spilling out words that seemingly came from somewhere else. But he was also mighty and powerful, and even if his mind was broken, he was extremely dangerous... and useful. A grim smile took shape in Yushin's face as he realized the huge opportunity that just appeared in front of him. Praise you, God of Contruction.
Just after the man finished his praise, Yushin intervened, trying to catch his attention. "For he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought the Lord our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side.”. I see we have another man of GOD here! Welcome! I'm Yushin Kamisama, a fellow priest of the Lord!" - he said, as he waived towards the mysterious man.
"I'm glad to not be the only one in this forsaken village..." - Yushin now turned towards the workers, still in disbelief on what happened -" "You all testified the power of God, and what his chosen ones are able to do. We should all praise the lord for this miracle and the blessing of bringing one of his loyal servants to help us. PRAISE THE LORD!" he screamed, being followed by all the lads, all of them now seemed to be converted.
"But our job in this village isn't done yet, my friend... no no no! He told me we still have work to do. We now have to test this walls and see if there is any flaws of imperfections, to guarantee the protection of the poor and innocent people of this land. We must protect god's sheep againts the heretics. Come with me, son of god, and I will show you the way. Let's finish His job and make our father happy" - Yushin smiled as he awaited if his little plot would work and he would convince the mysterious man about all the priest and god bullshit he just said. He already envisioned so many uses for the man's powers that he was already thrilled.

Re: Unexpected Business

Jupiter's dark blue eyes lit up when he heard the second preacher's verses. Yushin... Kamisama? Could he be a prophet of the lord? Jupiter was keen to test this theory. He turned his attention from the Gate of Rashomon and the crowd of workers and villagers that had gathered, to the newcomer. He listened patiently to Yushin's speech, waiting for him to finish as he keenly focused on every word. As a man who had recently vowed to change his ways, to be more skeptical when it came to the true path, the way of the righteous, the former Jashinist was adamant on examining the evidence before him before he made up his mind regarding any new beliefs.
"This is indeed a village among the forsaken. The deeds of the Jashinist monks speak for themselves. They worship deities like Vatra, and other false Gods, to commit crimes like arson and murder in their name. But the love of God knows no bounds. He bestows mercy and protection even to the forsaken." Jupiter proclaimed. He cleared his throat, and stepped closer to Yushin as he continued,
"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
His tongue as always seemed to move on its own, even in his rejection of his old God, he was not shy about confessing the beliefs of his new one just as boldly. The workers, some of whom were Jashinists in their own right, had fallen to their knees as many of them wept in repentance, rejecting their old ways upon hearing the words of the convert. Jupiter turned towards them.
"He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit! Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Amen!"
"Rise. Yushin Kamisama speaks the truth. We must test his Walls, both physical and metaphysical, the spiritual walls around this town must also be torn down to start anew." He declared, before turning to Yushin once again.
"Yushin Kamisama. You proclaim to be a priest of God. Show me then, priest." He formed the seal of confrontation once again, raising walls of Rashomon on the edges of the village next to each other. He surged his chakra, enveloping his body in a red aura as his very sweat began to burn. He turned towards one of the furthest gates and fired a Tiger from his fist in the form of a force that seemed unstoppable. The workers stared in disbelief, as the animal crashed into one of the walls, causing the very earth to shake. When the dust settled, the wall remained standing. A miracle.
"Can you fare any better? Or are there more walls to test?"

Yushin played his hand on the attempt to manipulate the mighty and mysterious person that raised the gates right before the construction crew’s eyes. While Yushin certainly caught his attention, he wasn’t sure if his little and improvised religious speech was enough to get into the man’s head. Yushin knew that the wall he created was product of some sort of Space-Time jutsu, one of Yushin’s specialties as a criminal shinobi, and not actual divine intervention.
Just as the outlaw finished his speech, the mysterious figure started one of his own, even more religious and orthodox than Yushin’s. The criminal listened calmly, waiting for him to finish as he keenly focused on every word and mannerism, trying to once again read the man in order to further exploit his belief in God.
Even though the religious speech was indeed attractive to the former Jashinist, he seemed to be (rightfully) suspicious over Yushin’s intentions and devoutness. He formed the seal of confrontation once again, raising the gigantic walls of Rashomon once again, this time on the edges of the village next to each other. He then surged his chakra, enveloping his body in a red aura as his very sweat began to burn in a very impressive feat. Yushin could feel the tremendous surge of power of the mysterious man’s chakra. He turned towards one of the furthest gates and fired what seemed like a Tiger from his fist in the form of a force that seemed unstoppable and very, very destructive. The workers stared in disbelief (as Yushin also did, without showing it), as the force animal crashed into one of the walls, causing the very earth to shake. But when the dust settled, the wall remained standing. Was that some sort of miracle?
For the ignorant folks of Hotsprings perhaps, but for a rational man like Yushin, there was a simple explanation: the power of the wall was greater than the power of the force Tiger, making it withstand the impact. The man turned his attention back to Yushin and challenged him to demonstrate to actually be a priest of God. “Now you need proof from the almighty and his will? Alright then…”. For the first time since arriving at the Land of Hotsrping, Yushin was actually a bit nervous about his lies. He usually was pretty good at getting away with it, but having to top such amazing display of power was something 100% impossible for the current power he possessed. As his mind raced to find a solution and keep the mind games going, a second divine intervention appeared to rescue the atheist shinobi.
A group of Jashinist monk approached the construction site, incredulous with the workers reaction to the miracle they’ve just witnessed. They couldn’t believe that they were all converted from pure jashinist into Catholics. “Heretics! How dare you come to Lord Jashin's kingdom and desecrate his faith in this way? How dare they take sheep from his flock to put into a false god’s path? You will pay dearly for your sins!” he screamed towards Yushin and the mysterious man, pointing towards the two foreigners with weapons at hand. While he couldn’t produce a force tiger or anything like that, Yushin was very capable of dealing with some monks with his current move set.
“Behold the power that God blessed me with to execute his divine deeds in this forsaken land…” – Yushin said, while wuickly doing some handseals. He activated his singularity technique, creating an expanding dome of pure (and almost invisible) gravitational energy around the hostile monks. As they got caught within the dome, the sheer density of gravity around them slowly crushed their bodies into the ground as they screamed in pain. “I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to the Lord every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance to.” he recited, while keeping the gravitational field around the monks, pressing them into the ground.
“You see… that is what happens to those that do not embrace the Lord or those chosen to serve him. While it is true that he is merciful and compassionate with even those that serve false gods, he also does no admit to be disrespected by heretics such as these frail little monks.” He continued, now displaying a discrete but sadistic smile as he tortured the monks with the power of gravity. “Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreign as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.” He finished with another biblical verse, while his Singularity jutsu crushed the monk’s bones as they were slowly killed by the gravitational density, forming a puddle of blood, bones and viscera on the ground.
The other workers now gazed in fear to the shocking scene of a couple of monks being turned into mashed potatoes. They again got into their knees and bowed towards the mysterious man and now also Yushin, while praising their new god. But now, instead of gratitude and disbelief, they displayed fear in their eyes… fear of Yushin, and fear of this new god wrath.
“Are you convinced now, fellow man of God? Yes, there is indeed much work to be done around this forsaken land and all over the shinobi world. It is filled with false gods being worshiped, death, plagues, sins… the road is long, but with our faith on the Lord, great things can me achieved!” – Yushin now extended his arm towards the mysterious man, as if he was offering a handshake. “What is your name, young man? Walk with me as we spiritually and physically cleanse this lands and rebuild its walls!”

Just as the outlaw finished his speech, the mysterious figure started one of his own, even more religious and orthodox than Yushin’s. The criminal listened calmly, waiting for him to finish as he keenly focused on every word and mannerism, trying to once again read the man in order to further exploit his belief in God.
Even though the religious speech was indeed attractive to the former Jashinist, he seemed to be (rightfully) suspicious over Yushin’s intentions and devoutness. He formed the seal of confrontation once again, raising the gigantic walls of Rashomon once again, this time on the edges of the village next to each other. He then surged his chakra, enveloping his body in a red aura as his very sweat began to burn in a very impressive feat. Yushin could feel the tremendous surge of power of the mysterious man’s chakra. He turned towards one of the furthest gates and fired what seemed like a Tiger from his fist in the form of a force that seemed unstoppable and very, very destructive. The workers stared in disbelief (as Yushin also did, without showing it), as the force animal crashed into one of the walls, causing the very earth to shake. But when the dust settled, the wall remained standing. Was that some sort of miracle?
For the ignorant folks of Hotsprings perhaps, but for a rational man like Yushin, there was a simple explanation: the power of the wall was greater than the power of the force Tiger, making it withstand the impact. The man turned his attention back to Yushin and challenged him to demonstrate to actually be a priest of God. “Now you need proof from the almighty and his will? Alright then…”. For the first time since arriving at the Land of Hotsrping, Yushin was actually a bit nervous about his lies. He usually was pretty good at getting away with it, but having to top such amazing display of power was something 100% impossible for the current power he possessed. As his mind raced to find a solution and keep the mind games going, a second divine intervention appeared to rescue the atheist shinobi.
A group of Jashinist monk approached the construction site, incredulous with the workers reaction to the miracle they’ve just witnessed. They couldn’t believe that they were all converted from pure jashinist into Catholics. “Heretics! How dare you come to Lord Jashin's kingdom and desecrate his faith in this way? How dare they take sheep from his flock to put into a false god’s path? You will pay dearly for your sins!” he screamed towards Yushin and the mysterious man, pointing towards the two foreigners with weapons at hand. While he couldn’t produce a force tiger or anything like that, Yushin was very capable of dealing with some monks with his current move set.
“Behold the power that God blessed me with to execute his divine deeds in this forsaken land…” – Yushin said, while wuickly doing some handseals. He activated his singularity technique, creating an expanding dome of pure (and almost invisible) gravitational energy around the hostile monks. As they got caught within the dome, the sheer density of gravity around them slowly crushed their bodies into the ground as they screamed in pain. “I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to the Lord every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance to.” he recited, while keeping the gravitational field around the monks, pressing them into the ground.
“You see… that is what happens to those that do not embrace the Lord or those chosen to serve him. While it is true that he is merciful and compassionate with even those that serve false gods, he also does no admit to be disrespected by heretics such as these frail little monks.” He continued, now displaying a discrete but sadistic smile as he tortured the monks with the power of gravity. “Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreign as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.” He finished with another biblical verse, while his Singularity jutsu crushed the monk’s bones as they were slowly killed by the gravitational density, forming a puddle of blood, bones and viscera on the ground.
The other workers now gazed in fear to the shocking scene of a couple of monks being turned into mashed potatoes. They again got into their knees and bowed towards the mysterious man and now also Yushin, while praising their new god. But now, instead of gratitude and disbelief, they displayed fear in their eyes… fear of Yushin, and fear of this new god wrath.
“Are you convinced now, fellow man of God? Yes, there is indeed much work to be done around this forsaken land and all over the shinobi world.

Jupiter solemnly bowed his head as the sound of grinding bones echoed in the distance behind him. As he heard their screams of agony, his heart ached with compassion. He clenched his fists, though his face remained plain, bearing no tension on his facial muscles. "Yushin..." He spoke in a deep, coarse tone, his shaking voice alluding to feelings of strong disapproval. However, he did not intervene as he let fate play its course. Instead, he began to walk towards Yushin. In his heart, as he reasoned with his conscience, he was conflicted.
As he walked through the crowd of trembling converts, they stared nervously between the two priests, unsure of what's to come. Jupiter enthusiastically shoved a villager in his path, pushing him away from the direct path to Yushin, compelling the villagers around him to scurry back and give him space. Behind him, a pool of blood and bones flowed like a river. He uttered under his breath as he walked. "Mercy triumphs over judgment... The Lord shows Mercy to the Merciful. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy..."
When he got in front of Yushin, he lifted his head. "I am more than convinced, Yushin Kamisama. It was not your powers, but your conviction that has convinced me." He turned back around to the converts. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For the followers of Jashin, Death is most merciful. Yushin Kamisama has bloodied his hands.. He bears the sins of the forsaken. A saint!" He declared, before turning back to Yushin, and taking up the offer of his handshake.
"My name is Jupiter Yamanaka. Some call me Kawkab Al-muštarī'. I will walk with you, as long as you vow to start a church, where sinners can come to be absolved. Take all the ryo that I have in my possession, and use it for this purpose. I implore you, accept my offer, and I will walk with you until your first congregation."

Perhaps Yushin's actions were a bit out of tone, as he showed no mercy and extra cruelty by crushing the Jashinist monks against the ground. But, for the criminal's amusement, it worked quite well.
"Yes, It's up to us, man of faith, to bear the sins of the impure world, to stain our hands with blood so that the innocent remain innocent and pure... while the Jashinist worship death, we worship life... and sometimes, we man of god must take a few lifes in order to preserve manny others... it's out fate, our mission, our testament..." - he replied, trying to persuade the man even further.
He presented himself as Jupiter Yamanaka, or Kawkab Al-muštarī. He accepted Yushin's handsahe and decided to walk with him through the city. The only thing he asked was rather odd: for Yushin to start a church at this forsaken land, where sinners can come to be absolved. He even offered all his ryo and material possessions in order to Yushin to accomplish this. "Oh, The god of construction keeps blessing me with opportunities. The thought of gainign some easy money and items really pleases the criminal, who seeked funds to build his criminal empire.
"A church? It would be my honor, Jupiter Yamanaka. I think it's a great idea to build a tempel of the only true god right here, beneath the nose of those who worship a false god... those who regret their sins in the name of the false god can find absolution, while those who seek to hurt the pure will find the same fate those poor monks had... with extra mercy from the lord, of course.". They've kept walknig through the Jashinist village as Yushin kept pouring poison in the form of words to the man of faith. They've approached an old construction nearby the Black Market area now, a former old temple of some old god, vilified, vandalized and abandoned by Jashinists. " This place... it's perfect! Yes, yes... an temple destroyed by the jashinist heretics, rejected by those who follow the God of Death... it's here that we will build the start of this new era of mercy... it's here that we shall spread the word of the onyl true God, the house of repentance, where all sinners who truly seek forgiviness can call home...". He made a quick pause, while further elaborating the plot in his head. All was coming together now according to planned, an he was very close to accomplish his fraud. "But we have a lot of work ahead of us, look at this place... desecrated, vadalized and destroyed by the jashinist sinners... we would take a substantial amount of money to buy, renovate and fix all the damage done here... besides artists to decorate the temple and create a beautiful altar... it would take at least 150.000 to 200.000 to do all of this... I know you kindly offered me the funds to do it, but I don't think it's enough for this place..." he again paused, and tried now to do his "sad" face, as if he was legitimately disappointed. His was actually a pretty good actor, as on the inside he was actually having a lot of fun playing this religious man, and he had to hold strong to not burst into laughs.
Yes, nevermind... it's just too much. It's a such shame though, I think it would be an auspicious spot for the church we envisioned. But that's alright, I have faith in our Lord that we will find a place as good as this, or even better, that does not required that much money. It will be difficult, but we won't give up, right? At least He will know that we gave our best..." - he kept the drama, trying to persuade Jupiter to invest into his new venture. Yushin actually had plans to build something, not a church obviously, with that money. Perhaps a new lair, or base of operations. And righ there, at Yugakure no Sato, the heart of jashinism, it seemed like a bold an courageous act of faith.
You know what, brother? Let us pray so God may show us the spot of his new church" Yushin now got to both of his knees, and held up both hands together while looking upwards to the skies as he started to loudly pray: " Father, I know that no church or pastor is perfect, so help me to be humble in my search, while not compromising on the fundamentals of salvation, water baptism, baptism in the Holy Spirit, prosperity and healing. Let me be led by Your Spirit and not my flesh. You have said that my steps are ordered of You, and I receive that over my search for a church.
And now I ask in Your Name, by faith, that You would guide me to the church You have ordained for me. Impress upon my spirit the place You would have me to attend and serve.
I pray that You would also show me how I might be a blessing to those in my new church home and that I would serve with a right heart and spirit.
Thank You, God, for my new church home!
In His’ Name. Amen.

"My son.." Jupiter placed his right hand on the shoulder of his fellow priest, who seemed distraught. The younger of the two seemed spiritually older, yet the older seemed pragmatically wiser. Jupiter stepped forward towards the ruins of the old temple that had caught his friend's interest. He walked to the middle of where one half of a defaced God's shrine remained, and bent down to pick up a fragment of the broken construction's inner wall. He started muttering under his breath once again, his dark blue eyes widened as they remained fixed on the relic in his hand.
By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you: your walls - Neigh! -- your Gates of Rashomon -- shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your Gates, as shinobi enter into a hidden village in which is made an invasion... When Jupiter looked over at his fellow priest, his dark blue eyes shimmered with the glow of a newfound flame.
"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the chakra at work within us." Jupiter went on, "He said to them, “Cast the net on the left side of the Crude Canoe, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish."
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his chakra that is at work within us." The convert turned his attention back to the broken idol, and ripped its nose from its face. "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with damage reduction; my cup overflows."
Upon turning back to Yushin, he stretched his arms out. "And The Lord is able to bless you abundantly, for his Beloved Presence will always be the More Beloved, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, with your faith you will abound in every good mission. Ask, and you shall receive!"
"Give ryo, and ryo will be given to you. A good creation, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Jupiter walked back to Yushin and handed him some ryo from his pocket. If he checked, it would amount to 300,000 ryo.
"Take this, Saint Yushin, fellow Priest. I entrust you with establishing the Holy Church while I made my pilgrimages and sought the Lord. I trust your judgments, Yushin Kamisama, and the day may come when you have no choice but to bloody your hands once again. Until then, I implore you, take no more lives. An eye for an eye, a hand for a hand, will have the whole world handicapped."

Yushin stood right next to Jupiter, waiting for his reaction. He simply put his hand on Yushin's shoulder, before he walked to the middle of where one half of a defaced God's shrine remained, an so he bent down to pick up a fragment of the broken construction's inner wall. The ex-jashinist kept looking at the broken relic without even blinking, and it seemed as if he was muttering under his breath once again. A few moments passed, and Yushin's tension started to rose, as he wasn't quite sure what to expect next from Jupiter. Yushin felt like he was playing the game pretty well and was close of convincing the religious man to invest into his new "church", but the man before him was very unpredictable and anything could happen.
Jupiter looked over at the fake priest, with his dark blue eyes shimmered with the glow of sheer determination, and started once againto sing sayings and prayers again. "It worked!" Yushin exclaimed in his head. The excitement was already taking over the young criminal while Jupiter continued with his religious preaching. What would he do first with all that money? Buy a few organs? Some gear? Some muscle and lackeys? A new fedora hat? Perhaps build a new hideout... so many options. After a couple more words, Jupiter finally walked towards Yushin and handled hima heavy bag of ryo. Being a specialist when it came to count money, being able to tell the amount just by how much it weights, Yushin would guess that there was something around 300.000 ryo in that pile of cash. "Juicy!"
But he wouldn't count the money, at least no right now and right there, in front of his fellow "priest". No no, Yushin still had to close the game, so he couldn't spoil all his scheming and scamming by getting ahead of himself. Jupiter could easily obliterate Yushin so it wasn't time to celebrate yet. To close out his speech, Jupiter pleaded to Yushin not to take more lifes, and entrusted him with establishing the Holy Church while he would make some sort of pilgrimage. "Perfect, perfect, perfect!"
"I swear, brother. I won't stain my hand with blood no more, as my days as a sinner are over. Now, my days as priest of the holy lord have began. Right here, what are now ruins, shall be the temple of mercy. RIght here, where the old golds have been desecrated, the only true god will be adored. Right here, in this pile of debris, those who seek atonement will meet the mercy and love of our lord. And that will only happen because of you... Saint Jupiter. Without your mercy, wisdom and capital investment, we would never be able to rise a Holy Church right here in this forsaken land. It's a new era in The Land of Hotsprings!"
Yushin now took another look right at the blue eyes of Jupiter, trying to act emotional and to even drop a few fake tears of joy. "Yes... my purpose, god's plan... thanks, my fellow man of god! I know you will find what you seek during your pilgrimage, just as you found purpose in helping the poor souls in this land. God always show us the way, never forget about that..."
"By faith he obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in the mysterious land; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
"Well, I bid you farewell, Saint Jupiter! May our god be with you during all your journey as he always have been, even at those moments you couldn't hear his voice. Trust his judgement and he will light you the path. And whenever you return, you shall find the Holy Church of Mercy, standing right here, with all its glory and filled with followers. And you will be proud to be the founder of it. Thank, and Amen! I hope to see you again, brother" Yushin finished, giving Jupiter and warm and fake smile as he tried to accelerate Jupiter's departure so he could enjoy all that money he just earned by doing absolutely nothing. Who could expect that the stupid wall job he radomly picked would be so profitable after all? That was indeed, the most Unexpected business he ever did all of his life as a criminal.
